The Worthy Pause

First time here and the volunteers were great! She helped me with ideas for our party and find things that we were looking for. We were able to get most of the items that we were looking for our tea party! Thanks ladies!

I love the Worthy Pause, there’s always something to be found. Everyone is so helpful.

I stopped by the Worthy Pause (although imho it should be the Worthy Paws as all profits go to animal welfare) and it happened to be 50% off day! Score! This tiny little store was packed floor to ceiling with all kinds of amazing second hand goodies from Christmas ornaments to kitchen décor to knick-​knacks. (no clothing) You can easily lose track of time between browsing the shelves and chatting with the kind lady behind the counter. I stayed so long I had to run out to fill the meter twice! (metered parking out front).

Disappointing.
I’m a thrift shop junkie, and this place was a big let down. The shop is a mess, the items are over priced and the lady at the front was surprisingly rude. She ignored me when I walked in and for my entire visit was just unpleasant. Turns out, she runs the place. What terrible customer service.
If you have allergies to mold or dust, do not enter this store. A little dust and some pet hair is expected in secondhand stores, but the dirt and sour mold smell was overpowering.

LOVE !

I love thrift shopping, but have been pretty disappointed with overpriced, low selection NYC thrift stores. Until now!
We came to take the dog to little bay dog run and found Worthy Paws.
What an awesome thrift shop! There are only 3 rooms or so, but they are packed floor to ceiling with all sorts of interesting and useful things! The only thing they don’t have is clothing — which is totally fine.
If you need dishes, interesting jewelry, knick knacks, pet supplies, books, dvds, random kitchen utensils/​pans/​etc, retro housewares — come here!
We ended up leaving with a fabric dog carrier ($ 10), winter dog booties ($ 5), a cute retro looking mushroom shaped glass container ($ 5) and a magnet ($ 1).
We will definitely be back!!!
Notes:
They had 50% off everything today — which was awesome!
There is street parking — but make sure to put money in the meter — per the store clerk the cops are pretty quick to ticket there!
Cash & Check only.

This is a fabulous organization with a big heart for animals in need. Gertrude from The Worthy Pause has personally helped me with food and emergency vet bills for my colony of stray /​thrown away cats. I do TNR in my community and sustain a large number of cats with food, winter shelters, and medical care, as needed.
Thank goodness for the help I received from The Worthy Pause; my sisters, my friends and I have donated collectibles for the store and try to repay them for their generosity, and kindness in helping innocent animals and their survival.

I just love the Worthy Paws, a thrift store whose proceeds benefit cats and dogs. Visit their website for a full description of their items. But I can tell you that I always enjoy browsing their wares, and when I shop I know that the proceeds go to a worthy cause. Be sure to ask for Oliver and Henry the resident kitty cats. They are warm and friendly.
The store is a bit (very) overstuffed. But one of the very nice volunteer ladies, Robin, I think, keeps it well ordered. It is a small store with a big inventory. Be sure to take a good look at the vintage and antique items behind the jewelry counter.
I have found many a treasure at this place. You might be looking for something, or you may not. My favorite find? A vintage Jerry Mahoney doll. He was more than I wanted to spend, but I just had to have him. He was on a lower shelf, and as often as I shop there, I had never seen him. He was just meant to be mine.
For a treasure hunting good time, visit the Worthy Paws.
